5 December<\/strong>
\nHistory of Art Department, University of Cambridge<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The British-Russian Year of Culture in 2014 has brought renewed attention to the long history of cultural exchange between Britain and Russia. This full-day conference organised by the Cambridge Courtauld Russian Art Centre (CCRAC) takes Britain\u2019s relationship with the Russian decorative arts as its theme. It aims to complement recent scholarship on British-Russian cultural exchange during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Around 1900, Britain witnessed a surge of interest in the Russian decorative arts, and in particular those of the \u2018Russian style\u2019 and \u2018neo-national\u2019 movements. The associated revival of national traditions was critical to the immense appeal of Russian art in the West, leading above all to the success of the Ballets Russes and a broader interest in the Russian\u00a0kustar<\/em>\u00a0(peasant) industries. In Russia, leading exponents of the neo-national school including Elena Polenova (1850-1898) and Aleksandr Golovin (1863-1930) responded to contemporary developments in Britain and the rest of Europe, notably the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau.<\/p>\n

This conference is one of a series of two symposia designed to complement the forthcoming exhibition of the art and craft of Elena Polenova (1850-1898) at Watts Gallery in Compton, Surrey (www.wattsgallery.org.uk<\/a>) which has been jointly organised with the V. D. Polenov State Memorial History, Art and Nature Museum Reserve (www.polenovo.ru<\/a>) in association with the British-Russian Year of Culture.<\/p>\n
